The Dog House

The staff at the Dog House are great. I can tell that they really care about all of the dogs, and our dog loves them, even though she has separation anxiety issues and worries about us leaving her.

We have used the Dog House a number of times for day care.
We have not yet left her for overnight boarding, but I am encouraged about the cage-free boarding and the fact that they will feed our OWN food without extra charge.

The staff clearly monitor and play with the dogs all day long and are careful to keep dogs well-matched and provide extra attention and insights as needed. They have a number of extra services for very reasonable prices (e.g. "pool time" for $2). Best of all, Lexy comes home tired each day she stays there -- we have yet to find anything else that tires her out, other than fetching branches out of a lake all afternoon!

Pros: no kenneling, staff loves dogs, flexible, low cost, extra services

Cons: a bit out of the way, but worth it

My dogs love The Doghouse. My high energy Vizsla needed a place to make some new doggie friends, burn off some energy, and learn some appropriate dog skills. Jim was great with integrating her into play groups. When we added a second Vizsla, we continued to use the Doghouse for boarding. My dogs always come home in great shape - not stressed out like traditional boarding - and tired from all their play time. It's great that Jim and Beth live onsite and they do a great job accomodating the individual needs of each dog.

Pros: Cage free, knowledgeable staff

Cons: cost
